Alex Honnold (@alexhonnold, Facebook: /alexhonnold) is a
professional adventure rock climber whose audacious free-solo (no
ropes, no partner) ascents of America’s biggest cliffs have made
him one of the most recognized and followed climbers in the
world. Honnold is distinguished for his uncanny ability to
control his fear while scaling cliffs of dizzying heights without
a rope to protect him if he falls. His most celebrated
achievements include the first and only free-solos of the
Moonlight Buttress (5.12d, 1,200 feet) in Zion National Park,
Utah, and the Northwest Face (5.12a) of Half Dome (2,200 feet),
Yosemite, California. In 2012, he achieved Yosemite’s first
“Triple Solo”: climbing, in succession, the National Park’s three
largest faces—Mt. Watkins, Half Dome and El Capitan—alone, and in
under 24 hours. He is also the founder of the Honnold Foundation,
an environmental non-profit, and to this day, he maintains his
simple “dirtbag-climber” existence, living out of his van and
traveling the world in search of the next great vertical
adventure. Enjoy! Show notes and links for this episode can be
